Abstract:
Advances in burn care are well documented in the literature but often do not reach health care professionals who treat burn patients. The World Wide Web provides instant access to a wide variety of information globally. We describe the development of www.burnsurgery.org, a nonprofit Web site dedicated to the education of burn care professionals. Internet-based medical education is becoming a dominant method of information transfer and we believe that it will help to standardize and improve burn care throughout the world.
